IHOP Pumpkin Pancakes
Pumpkin time is here again, marking the glorious annual reintroduction of IHOP's signature pumpkin pancakes. These festive flapjacks are full of homemade pumpkin pie flavor (without that pesky crust), and a dollup of whipped cream on top finishes them off perfectly. You can order them with a number of meal combinations, or simply as a stack of four. They're just what you need, whether as an early-morning meal or a late-night nosh.

Your Halloween costume this year
This is your year to actually win a costume contest—no more sexed-up cowgirl or choose-a-decade-and-matching-wig costumes for you! Take the time to visit one of Lawrence's specialty Halloween stores for inspiration. Try Spirit Halloween Store, 3140 Iowa St., Party America, 144 W. 23rd St., or Fun and Games, 866 Mass St. Or better yet, round up your friends, have a horror movie marathon, and brainstorm group
costume ideas. The Wizard of Oz characters? The Verizon wireless guy and his network? The possibilities are endless—as long as you start coacting your costume now.
visit Louisburg Cider Mill
Nothing says fall like fresh apple cider, whether you take yours adorned with a cinnamon stick or spiked with brandy. Take a trip over to the Louisburg Cider Mill, 17430 Highway 68, and for $2, treat yourself to a guided tour of the facilities, from the unloading of the apples to the bottling of the cider, and a free apple cider doughnut—heaven. Bring your honey or your friends, and be sure to toast the changing seasons as you wash down the doughnut with some complimentary fresh cider.
